Kéyah

Today’s word is the singular form for the word “land.”

You’ll often hear the phrase “Diné bikéyah” in public discourse which literally means “land of the People.” In this case, it refers the Navajo Reservation as a whole.

In the next few weeks, we’ll be introducing more places in and around Diné bikéyah. You can see a few places in the archives (Kinłaní, Tóhajiileeh).
